Turkey’s economy needs reliability and peace
Sezai Temelli and Pervin Buldan 20 June 2018
The manifesto pledge on the economy of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) in the Turkish elections on June 24.
Turkey is preparing for an election of historic importance to be held on June 24, 2018. The AKP during 16 years in power have created a rent-seeking economy through the exploitation of labor and nature only to benefit its own supporters. It was the shopping malls, chain markets and contractors supporting the government that benefited and thrived, not the workers, civil servants, retirees, farmers, tradespersons. As the foreign debt continued to grow, the AKP government continuously wasted economic resources in luxury, in more construction, in arms and war.
